It is a characteristic highly esteemed in Scripture, reflecting a heart that is submissive to God and considerate of others. The concept of lowliness is woven throughout both the Old and New Testaments, illustrating its importance in the life of a believer.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word often translated as "lowly" is "anav," which conveys humility and gentleness. The Psalms frequently highlight the virtue of lowliness. <a href="/psalms/138-6.htm">Psalm 138:6</a> states, "Though the LORD is on high, He attends to the lowly; but the proud He knows from afar." This verse underscores God's special attention and favor towards those who are humble in spirit.<br><br>The prophets also emphasize lowliness as a desirable trait. In <a href="/isaiah/57-15.htm">Isaiah 57:15</a> , God declares, "For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: 'I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.'" Here, lowliness is associated with contrition and repentance, qualities that draw God's presence and revitalization.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Greek word "tapeinos" is often used to describe lowliness. Jesus Christ exemplifies this trait, as seen in <a href="/matthew/11-29.htm">Matthew 11:29</a> , where He invites, "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Jesus' life and ministry are the ultimate model of lowliness, characterized by service, sacrifice, and submission to the Father's will.<br><br>The Apostle Paul frequently exhorts believers to adopt a lowly mindset. In <a href="/philippians/2-3.htm">Philippians 2:3</a> , he writes, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves." This instruction calls Christians to prioritize others, reflecting the selfless love of Christ.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>Lowliness is not merely an external demeanor but a profound internal attitude that aligns with God's character. It is a recognition of one's own limitations and a reliance on God's strength and wisdom. <a href="/james/4-6.htm">James 4:6</a> reminds believers, "But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: 'God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'" The lowly receive God's grace, enabling them to live in accordance with His will.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>In practical terms, lowliness manifests in various aspects of a believer's life. It involves a willingness to serve others, a readiness to forgive, and an openness to correction and growth. It is seen in the way one interacts with others, prioritizing their needs and valuing their contributions.<br><br>The call to lowliness is a call to reflect Christ's character in a world that often values pride and self-promotion. By embracing a lowly spirit, believers testify to the transformative power of the Gospel and the reality of God's kingdom.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
